SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, Calif. – The Office of Emergency Services for San Luis Obispo has issued an evacuation warning for all Oceano residents near the Arroyo Grande Creek Levee and the Oceano Lagoon at 8 p.m. Monday ahead of Tuesday's rain.

Area around the Oceano Lagoon including:
• South of Pier Ave. to the ocean
• North and East of Strand Way & River Ave.
• East to the railroad tracks, along the tracks, back up to Pier Ave.

A evacuation warning means residents should prepare and be ready to leave the area. Officials urge the community to remain vigilant amid the storm fatigue.

“We know that for Oceano residents, evacuation fatigue is setting in,” said Emergency Services
Manager Scott Jalbert, “However, water levels in the channel combined with additional rain and
water spilling from the reservoir are creating a potentially dangerous situation.”
